Red Hat duties

Architect of Red Hat's strategy in higher education, 2008-2010, including the creation of the Professor's Open Source Summer Experience, a weeklong intensive bootcamp that immerses professors in open source projects.

Fedora Governance

I was responsible for building the Fedora governance model as it currently exists; the goal was to build a structure that empowers non-RH employees to work as effectively in the Fedora community as Red Hat employees do. Results have been mixed, but generally positive. :)

If it can't be run effectively by a non-Redhatter, then it shouldn't bear the Fedora name.

It's okay for the community to be disappointed -- but it's never okay for the community to be surprised.
